Stocking Stuffers for Christmas

11:24am

i'm currently studying for my statistics exam for next week... *sigh* 

i thought i'd take my mind off of such an atrocity with a list of easy stocking stuffers that i think everyone would love- this is mainly for the ladies but also welcome for the men as well :D.

For me, i always have the problem of what to give to people because you know, even if you've known the person for a long time, you'd want to give them a decent gift right? Usually when i plan out my gifts for people i usually ask myself, 

"Self, what is something that they need, and is within my budget?

(which is very important as a university student xD) 


So for my case, i'm thinking of what to give to my sister, she's a nurse and i feel that shes always stressed and doesn't give the time to herself to you know.. relaxxx and just pamper herself, soo i thought it'd be great to give her small things that would help her relax after coming home from a long days of work. 

This is a list of what I've come up with:

  1. Cotton Sheet Masks
I don't think she's ever tried these before- they're reall inexpensive and if you get a box set there would be about 10. Or if you want you can get an assortment of different facial masks so that the person you're giving it to will have a variety to try out :) 







2. Facial Creams/ Serums/ Moisturizers/ Eye creams etc.

Preferably, I'd like to get her something from Lancome- like a night cream or something.So when she puts on something before she goes to bed, when she wake up in the morning her face will have soaked up all the nutrients and goodies and just feel- refreshed!  You can purchase any other brand or beauty line, for some reason i'm just drawn towards Lancome xD. 








3. Cozy Socks/ Warm slippers

I believe that it should be in order that everyone own and really nice pair of warm fuzzy and cozy socks or slippers- like a MUST. You are not truly relaxed at home unless you have a good pair of cozy socks to wear or slippies to put on. My sisters place, is tiles and is pretty cold, the slippers that she does have is a little worn out so maybe getting a nice pair of bunny slippers would do the job. I'll have to figure out though how to stuff these in the stockings.
And if this is for a male friend- jsut switch it up and get slippers that look more like it should be for a dude- like Panda slippers, or bear slippers lol !


Be creative- have fun with shopping for your friends and family, it shouldn't be a months worth of stress and unnecessary fighting at malls (ladies). If you want to be practical then get shopping done early, and avoid the vicious crowds during december and november months.

Well then! I shall be wishing you all Happy Holidays ! :D

Cheers,

Drama Review: 예쁜남자/ Pretty Boy/ Yeppeun Namja !!!

10:33 a.m 

ladies and gentlemen, it is h e r e.





How many episode approximately?   i believe there are approximately 16 

Any famous actors/actresses? LMFAO if you said no to this question
 then you are probably still new to 
watching kdramas.

Genre? Comedic with of course romance 

Should i prepare to cry a river?  lol hmmm, i wouldn't think so no 

Why is 장근석 so glamorous?  LOLOL you tell me !



Characters

Jang Geun Suk as Dok Go Ma Te  
  • The oh so glamorous Jang Geun Suk, comes back with another wonderful drama, as the "Pretty Boy" Dok Go Ma Te. It's basically what the title says- he's seen as the ultimate ladies man lol 
  • i guess his basic goal is to in a sense live the luxurious life with his mum (he would use his glamorous to seduce rich women )

UI as Kim Bo Tong 
  • Bo Tong has a very quirky personality. not to mention she is in love with Ma Te 
  • She lives at home along with her brother and mother 
  • she first met Ma Te on a bus stop (you'll see this scene in the pilot ep.) lol i don't know what to say about their relationship lol.... shes border line obsessed with him i guess.



Han Chae Yeong as Hong Yu Ra 

  • Such a mysterious lady in this drama- a mysterious glamorous lady xD 
  • I feel like i shouldnt tell you much about her LOL this is something that you should just find out when watching lol 



Lee Jang U Choi David
  • David Choi... isn't that a name on youtube? 
  • i would say that this character is the exact same replica (except in a mans body) of Bo Tong
  • we dont really know much about his other than the fact that hes the "MD" of a department? and that he's very caring and always looks out for Bo Tong

--> very contrasting to Ma Te's personality for sure

Synopsis
This drama focuses on the glamorous/ quirky relationship between Dok Go Ma Te and Kim Bo Tong- Bo Tong being the borderline obsessive usually goes out of her way to do outrageous things just to get Ma Te's approval or attention (which often times doesn't really work out too well)--> as aforementioned, Ma Te often uses his charms for money- he meets this millionaire who falls head over heels for him giving him anything he wanted. 
At this point the mysterious lady, Yu Ra is introduced into the drama. This is the lady that has been mysteriously appearing and disappearing from Ma Te and apparently knows everything about him. She also tells him things that are mind blowing .... (that is all lol.)
David Choi.... the main thing i remember about him is him buying a hat wig from Bo Tong, and maintaining "Vintage dust" on his car.. LOL Bo Tong meets this fine young fellow at one of her "yard" sales. he Eventually helps Bo Tong on her quest to also help Ma Te with his own dilemma (which ties in with Yu Ra)


* this synopsis may seem a bit confusing xD please bear with me*

Response
Can i just say ! LOL they make Geun Suk so unnecessarily Glamorous !! LMFAO, in the first bloody episode they shoot him with his lovely locks flowing in the wind.. of a bus -_- LOL and his LOOKS LOLOL his looks and his poses that she presents to the ladies XDD LOL ridiculous xD. 

and Bo Tong... man ... her outfits are another thing to complain about LOL- when you watch it you'll know what i mean lol. 

This drama is very lively and i feel that there is an equal balance of the two dramas that are going on- good job producers and directors ! 

This drama is a total thumbs up and a definite recommend even if you're new to dramas and are attempting to start out slow- this is a great drama for you (but then again who wants to start slow watching dramas! LMAO)

Heres the trailer for you guys !



That's it guys, cheers !

12:33a.m
Hello my lovlies! 

I just wanted to share this with you a wonderful discovery :')- at one point i was questioning the absence of Jang Geun Suk after his awesome drama in Love Rain until in We Got Married: Global Edition, Hong Ki called him if he wanted to join the wedding ceremony--> at this point Geun Suk said that he was busy so I said to my self, "Self, maybe he's working on a new TV series" 


i. was. right.

LMAO- I believe that he's coming out with a new drama thats airing sometime in November, also starring in it, is UI (you might recognize her from Dream High) - i'm not quite sure what the synopsis is about but c'mon let's face it- if it has Geun Suk in it then it'll prolly be awesome LOL

11-02-13: Drama Review: The Heirs/ 상속자들 !!

1:21am
 Hello there! i've been pretty busy with school *i'm swimming in homework atm* but I suddenly felt the urge to write a new review on the new drama: 


When was this Drama Released?- October 9-2013

Is this a Korean Drama?- Yes

How many episodes are out right now?- there
 are currently 8episodes so far and 20 Eps in total

What genre is it?- theres obviously highschool romance 
and some comedic reliefs here and there 

Any well known actors?- oh yeah ! they're 
everywhere in this one!

Is this a drama that will make you cry a river?- nope, at 
least for me- there's nothing really intense (i.e and illness
 or something along those lines) that happens


Can I just mention how AWESOME this drama in?! LOL
Characters
Lee Min Ho as "Kim Tan" 
  • The youngest son of a big company (Jin Hyuk)
  • I guess you could consider his role as the typical highschool rich kid (dare i say "mentality"?) 
  • rejected by his older step brother ( Kim Won), and just a cold hearted troll lol 
  • first seen in the pilot episode, studying abroad in America (specifically Cali.)
  • btw, Lee min ho, is in City Hunter, Boys Over Flowers, and a historical drama lol 

Park Shin Hye as "Cha Eun-Sang"
  • The daughter of a housemaid who works in Kim Tan's household
  • Eun Sang in a way represents the extreme side of Kim Tan's lifestyle as she isn;t able to spend so much on lavish luxuriouss thingss~
  • Eun Sang works hard to help with their household expenses 
  • also has an older sister that to their knowledge is studying abroad in Cali.
  • you'd be crazy to not know Park Shin hye (if you don't, she's in You're Beautiful, Flower Boy Next Door)


Kim Woo Bin as "Choi Young Do"
  • LOL can i just say? this guy came off as the biggest dick at first in the drama- and you'd think that "oh well i'm sure things will turn around for him as the drama progresses" ..... i don't know LOL 
  • He and Kim Tan used to the be best of friends when they were younger but whenever they see each other it's all just filled with an intense atmosphere and rivalry 
  • I feel as though on the inside he's just a lonely soul that just needs some consoling LOL  
  • his eyebrows though.. in the drama.... >_>







Kim Min Hyuk as "Yoon Chan Young"


  • I think you'd be able to recognize this baby face as the drummer of CN Blue, and also that hungry dude from Heartstrings (also with Park shin Hye)
  • Min Hyuk Plays the role of the best friend of Eun Sang and the boyfriend of Lee Bo Na 
  • Chan Young is often helping out Eun Sang whenever she's in trouble- a kind of person that Eun Sang is able to rely on when in a bind









SYNOPSIS
The pilot episode depicts the life of Cha Eun Sang- working multiple part time jobs preparing for highschool and as well earning the money she makes to help her mother. They later receive a phone call from Eun Sang's older sister to send her money in America for school- however when Eun Sang actually flies over to the US  to visit her sister she discovers her sister not even going to school or focusing on her studies and instead dating men and working park time jobs. The sister, being the backstabbing troll she is takes Cha Eun Sang's money and runs away.

At this point, this is where Eun Sang and Kim Tan meet where he offers Eun Sang a place to stay for the night. Here in Cali is where the majority of the cast members are introduced and sort of gives you some insight of their roles. Things already begin to happen at this point so i can't necessarily tell you everything LOL. it's all a matter of watching now >:3

RESPONSE
 well.. i have to say it's been a while since i've watch a drama where i've been waiting anxiously for the episode to come out LOL. this drama has very strong actors/actresses so you could sort of assume that y'know ;) this'll be a good one lol .
There is just one thing that i don't really like about this drama that may see like a turn off at the beginning- LOL the way they speak English LOL. What's most interesting are the native english speakers *sigh* if you are able to get past that then this drama is perfect

it does have that typical situation between the guy and girl where one of them would be on a different social status bar than the other, but somehow end up liking each other. 
^for me personally- i don't think i can get tired of these dramas LOL so i'm good

** ALL IN ALL - i think that this drama is a good starter drama if your just beginning to watch Kdrama- it's something that'll get you hooked right away  !! 
へるずわ面白いです!:D trolol

here's the trailer if you guys want to check it out 


that's it guys hope you guys enjoyyed ! :D
